Would a box dye ruin my hair?

I got Highlights for the first time about two years ago, the lady bleached my hair then added a dye which horribly damaged my hair. Now my hair is completely restored and is back to its original way. But ive been thinking about dying it, will a box dye ruin my hair severely?

    anything is better than bleach. the reason your hair was severely damaged was because the bleach completely strips your hair and it might have been left in too long.

    drugstore dye is fine for your hair but remember that any over processing will damage your hair at some point.

    if youre thinking about bleaching your hair with box dye, its best to go to a salon,

    the chemicals in box dye is alot more damaging to your hair then salon dye.

    but dying your hair is damaging to your hair, either from a box or the salon.

    the box just harms it more, its how to take care of your hair afterwards.

    use good conditioner after dying your hair and then there shouldnt be a problem !

    I have used box dyes for years, NOT bleaching, and my hair is just fine. Bleaching is bad for hair.

    No it won't, not severly. Just use one every 6+ months.
